Linus Torvalds 8053e5b93e Masami found a slight bug in his code where he transposed the arguments of a
call to strpbrk.
 
 The reason this wasn't detected in our tests is that the only way this would
 transpire is when a kprobe event with a symbol offset is attached to a
 function that belongs to a module that isn't loaded yet. When the kprobe
 trace event is added, the offset would be truncated after it was parsed,
 and when the module is loaded, it would use the symbol without the offset
 (as the nul character added by the parsing would not be replaced with the
 original character).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
